Yep, it's a difficult finesse. Agree with all of that.


I would like to see Putin ended. But if we take the lead or bring troops, it could get ugly and Putin knows that so he's taking what he can get away with. Not to mention, going in on a war front will not end Putin, I'm sure he's pretty safe. But the head of the snake must fall at some point, politically or eternally. We need to be cool right now.

Europe should be out in front of this with input from us and not the other way around. I am impressed with Germany for cutting off the pipeline but also hope they don't waffle. Putin is playing a long game and I think we are forced to do the same. If the world correctly condemns him, it will bring a ton of pressure. We must stand united with countries we've argued with for years and come together. I think thus far, that is going in the right direction even if we may be appalled at what is happening.
